365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #32: The Secret Lives of Dresses

I like the description for this, Dora lives a bland and boring life but has the chance to live a more fulfilling one. This seems really interesting.



Book: The Secret Lives of Dresses by Erin McKean

Description:

Do The Clothes Make The Woman?

Dora has always taken the path of least resistance. She went to the college that offered her a scholarship, is majoring in "vagueness studies," and wears whatever shows the least dirt. She's fallen into a job at the campus coffee shop and a crush on her flirty boss, Gary...but has no idea what she's going to do next.

When Mimi, the grandmother who raised her, suffers a stroke, Dora rushes home to Forsyth, NC, and finds herself running her grandmother's vintage clothing store. Surrounded by regal gowns, sexy sheaths, and Jackie-esque suits from decades gone by, Dora makes a curious discovery: Mimi had been secretly writing down and giving away stories about the dresses in her shop. Soon the clothes, her grandmother's legacies, and a handsome young contractor named Conrad begin to make her wonder...She can trade her boring clothes for vintage glamour, but can she trade her boring life for one she actually wants?
